Cloudburst – Barry Manilow

because my gal had turned me down. Then we met and you can bet I knew from the first, you were my love, and that’s when the old gray cloudburst. My heart really flew, the day you caught my eye. I hope that we two will never say “Good-bye.” Clouds of gray have silver linings when they reverse. I found your love and that’s when the old gray cloudburst.

Listen to me baby and I don’t mean maybe. Listen to my story, it’s terrifficly true. I gotta find a way of telling you that I really go for you. I hope you really believe me baby ’cause I certainly do.

‘Cause you’re thrillin’ me, you’re really, really thrilling when you tell me that you probably got a kind of crush on me, That moves me, grooves me. How divine can one woman be?

Oh, let’s spin a little, park a little, stop a little, spark a little, live a little, love a little, maybe turtle-dove a little baby. Every time you hold me so near, nobody loves me like you, dear.

Let’s stop a little, squeeze a little, probably maybe tease a little, try a little, sigh a little, maybe have to cry a little bit, ’cause to tell you the truth, I’m gonna love you and that’s it.

‘Cause I love you baby, love you baby, love you baby, love you baby, with all my heart. Oooh, listen to me while I say I let a lotta little ladies get away Because I know, I know pretty baby, I know, I know, pretty baby, I know you’re the one, yes you’re the one. I knew when I met you what a break it was to get you.

When it’s cloudy and gray and that’s the worst. How do you cause the cloud to burst? You got to find a lover, find a lover, find a lover, find a lover.

If it’s silvery under clouds of gray. How do you chase the clouds away? You gotta find a little girl and make her love you a lot. Don’t ever leave unless you flip your lid and really want to ruin the plot.

Sounds easy does it? Light as a breeze thru the trees. Boy, how pleasant was it? Pleasant as one summer day, boy.

It’s so wonderful, what a love can do. Look at what love has done for you. Hey, I’m a lucky lover, lucky lover, I got the love you should discover.

I was blue and I was always wearing a frown, because my gal had turned me down. Then we met and you can bet I knew from the first, You were my love, and that’s when the old gray cloudburst.

Take a look at me. Boy take another look, take another look, take another look, Take another good, long, look at me. Love opened my eyes and now I see,

Clouds of gray have silver linings when they reverse. I found your love, and that’s when the old, gray, cloudburst. That’s when the old, gray, cloud burst!
